Work Continues on Upkeep and Restoration of Boston Light Station.
The $1.1 million project to repair and renovate structures at Boston Light began in May of this year. The project is intended to preserve the structural integrity of the lighthouse tower and surrounding buildings and assists in preparing for the light station’s upcoming tricentennial celebrations in 2016. The ongoing refurbishment plan includes an underground storage tank remediation, a new exterior coating to the lighthouse, new cedar roofs on all structures, new windows in the lighthouse keeper’s quarters, and painting of all structures. A new sewage treatment plant and temporary roof repairs have already been completed.
